I mean does it even matter when this shit was always going to go ahead anyways. I feel like they could have over estimated and the government would still be like all good mate.
Really glad Germany has criminalised nazi symbols. I'm curious to see how this plays out in this situation. My country is in the early stages of banning nazi symbols and people keep coming up with the same shitty takes like "but I like it when nazis let me know who they are" and "why do we need to ban shit, people just shouldn't be nazis".
This is the country that gave us existential and post-structural philosophy. What kind of culture war bullshit is going down in France right now?
I kind of think homogenising all Jewish people as being pro-israel is it's own form of anti-semitism. There have been a lot of Jewish people, both in Israel and around the world, who have voiced their criticism of Israel's actions.
Not a fan of Keating but mad respect for his balls here.
I lived in Darwin for 2 years when I was a kid. I didn't understand much at the time but even at age 8/9 the level of racism stood out to me. And I grew up in North QLD, which is really saying something.
Seriously though, as I understand it the NT Police have been able to do paper-less arrests for years. Essentially the 'tough on crime' approach is so cooked in the NT that basic accountability isn't even required. Private security contractors being able to use brutal force isn't surprising considering the culture of policing in the NT. At least the Police have had to do some sort of basic training, these contractors likely haven't but somehow have the same power as Police.
Appointment inertia is the worst. I can't do more than one appointment in a day. It's not like a cute lil 'oh it's so hard' thing, I literally cannot do the cognitive processing required to do more than one appointment a day.
Young workers in India need to unionise not work 70 hour weeks.
These people are definitely the assholes in this situation.
I'm scared of dogs because I've been attacked by one before. I have a trauma reaction to them essentially. I wish more people understood this and were at least considerate of the idea that people have valid reasons for not wanting dogs in their space. I don't care that your dog is awesome or whatever the fuck justification you want to use for being inconsiderate of others, my nervous system is terrified of it. I especially dislike people who walk their dogs off leash in busy areas.
Hate to be a killjoy but C02 is only one greenhouse gas and not even the worst one.
